Li Zhi and his entourage returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, and it was the early spring of the 20th year of Zhenguan.

Since then, the Tang Dynasty has seen a rare spectacle in the world -

The emperor is outside, and the prince is in charge!

Such wonders puzzled the people and amazed the Gentiles.

Rumors began to spread, and rumors spread all over the world.

Some ministers suggested suppressing rumors and guarding the mouths of the people.

However, the crown prince Li Zhi did not agree, nor did he control it, but with the assistance of the ministers, he introduced a series of policies to benefit the people, support the people, and strengthen national defense.

Before the next year, everyone in the world praised the prince Wende, Siyi Chaohe, and was honored as the 'Huangtian Prince'.

Li Ke, the king of Wu, ruled the old land of Tuguhun and changed the country name to Tang Wu; Li Chengqian, the king of Qin, ruled the old Turkic land and changed the name of the country to Tang Qin; Li Tai, the king of Wei, ruled the old land of Goguryeo and changed the name of the country to Tang Wei.

These three kingdoms, all of which are the lineage of the Tang Dynasty, the lords of the three kingdoms all went to Chang'an to meet the prince in person, handed over the military talismans and national taxes, compared themselves to the servants, and vowed to respect the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty forever, if this oath is violated, heaven and earth will be destroyed!

Since then, Tang has ruled with the crown prince and governed the internal and external domains, as it is true and legal, and it has been ten years in the blink of an eye.

……

Thirty years of Zhenguan, Lixia.

Knock knock, knock knock!

The wheels ran over the muddy road and headed for the mountains.

"Hurry, hurry!"

In the carriage, Li Zhi looked anxious and shouted,

After ten years in power, he has grown a beard and has already developed the momentum and grace of an emperor.

But at the moment, he still lost his temper.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't be faster! This is a mountain road! ”

The waiter beside him said,

"No matter how fast it is, it will be dangerous for the wheels to slip!"

"Don't worry, you're ......"

Bang!

Li Zhi patted the seat and said angrily:

"Isn't Lone in a hurry? Father is seriously ill, why didn't you tell Gu earlier?! ”

"It has to be delayed until this last minute! Let Lone even be filial, are you going to let Lone bear the infamy of unfilial piety! ”

"What a bastard!"

The waiter's face was bitter.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is Your Majesty's intention to conceal your illness, and the slaves and maids do not dare to disobey it......"

He said helplessly,

"Your Majesty said that you are busy with state affairs and cannot easily withdraw. He is accompanied by the queen mother, and there are so many people to serve him, so don't bother you. ”

"I have had a similar situation before, two or three times, and then His Majesty has been recuperated and recovered, but this time, ...... The condition seems to be getting worse. ”

"The slaves and maids begged for everything, but His Majesty still refused, and in the end it was the queen who took the idea, and the slaves and maids came to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the four ministers."

After hearing the words, Li Zhi was already in tears.

"Father...... Father! ”

He shouted in his mouth, his fist pounding on the pillow beside him, venting the emotions in his heart.

Crunch.

There was a sound from the wheels, and the carriage came to an abrupt halt.

"Arrived?! Got to Cuiwei Palace? ”

Li Zhi was shocked, hurriedly got up and got out of the carriage.

There was a light rain outside, with a slight chill, which made the entire Nanqian Mountain sink in smoke and rain.

"Your Highness, Umbrella!"

The attendant beside him hurriedly tore open the oil-paper umbrella and wanted to protect Li Zhi from the rain, but he was directly pushed away.

"Get out of the way!"

Li Zhi was emotionally unstable and scolded,

"Lonely, not so squeamish!"

Seeing this, the chamberlain didn't have an umbrella, and he couldn't do it, so he could only accompany the prince in the rain.

Li Zhi was drenched in the rain, looking at the several palaces inside the mountain gate, and his mood was slightly relieved.

When people are depressed, they seem to like to get drenched in the rain.

But at this moment, an oil-paper umbrella still hit Li Zhi's head.

"Loneliness doesn't mean don't ......"

"Master."

Li Zhi was about to push it away, but saw that the person holding the umbrella for him next to him was Xu Fenglei.

"Life and death, you always have to face it, calm down, let's go in."

Xu Fenglei said slowly,

Today, he is a little stronger than when he was younger.

A little more calm, a little less elegant.

is to walk, all of them are steady, there is no joy or sorrow on their faces, only calm, just like the kind of old man in the family who is used to seeing life and death.

"Master, Father, he really ......"

Li Zhi's eyes were red, and he reached out to take the oil-paper umbrella, but he was a little trembling.

Behind him, the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and Li Ji all followed, with solemn expressions.

The four of them are the 'four ministers' in the mouth of the inner servant, and they are the people who stand at the pinnacle of power in the Tang Dynasty in addition to the crown prince!

Among them, Xu Fenglei's status is the most respected, and even in a sense, his reputation is above the prince!

As for Li Jing and Fang Xuanling?

They are long gone.

Tick, tick.

The rain was falling from the eaves of the mountain gate, and two teams of attendants had already greeted them at the gate.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"I've seen all of you!"

The attendants knelt down and saluted one after another, but Li Zhi didn't care about saying anything to avoid being polite, and ran straight to Cuiwei Palace!

He walked quickly, and Xu Fenglei kept following him, holding an umbrella for him.

The three people behind him didn't even hold an umbrella, and they trotted up in the rain to follow!

……

Inside the Cuiwei Palace.

On the bed, Li Shimin's face was withered, sometimes sober, sometimes drowsy, and it was already on the verge of dying.

The eldest grandson beside him didn't say a word, just silently wept and guarded by his side.

Da-da-da. Da-da-da-da.

Hurried footsteps were heard.

"Father, father!"

"Father, what's wrong with you, Father!"

"Father!"

Li Zhi walked faster and faster, and in the end, he had already rushed to Li Shimin's couch and knelt down with a puff.

When he saw his father's face, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and he broke the embankment in an instant!

"Children are not filial!"

"Children are not filial! Woohoo, woowoo......"

Li Zhi hugged his head and wept bitterly.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and Li Ji walked into the hall, and when they saw Li Shimin's disgraced face, their eyes instantly turned red.

"Your Majesty!"

"Cheer up! So many difficulties have been overcome, and this time it will definitely be okay! Go and invite Sun Zhenren to come! ”

"Bodhisattva bless, Dao Grandpa bless, bless......"

The eldest grandson Wuji was the most excited, and he was already in tears, kneeling towards Xu Fenglei and begging:

"Gong Xu! Go and invite Sun Zhenren to come! When I beg you! I...... I'm kowtowing to you! ”

Xu Fenglei sighed lightly.

"I have already asked Sun Zhenren to investigate, Your Majesty's current condition is not illness, but the exhaustion of qi and blood, and his life is coming to an end."

He whispered.

"Qi and blood are depleted...... Then can you use drugs to boost the exuberance again, and forcibly continue it! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji still didn't give up and asked.

Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"It's been renewed twice, there is no doctor for the medicine stone, and if it continues, Sun Simiao can't do it, and what he can do is probably only Taishang Laojun's Jin Dan."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please mourn."

All men are mortal? No matter how brilliant the characters are, they are only a handful of loess in the end.

Li Shimin once compared himself to Weifeng, and now, this Weifeng, who was once proud of the world and respected himself, has finally come to the end of his life......

Li Erfeng is going to get a box lunch, and his end also means that the book is about to end, I will write slowly, and the word count is unstable, forgive me, just these few days, the last trembling thing......
